Environment - why is coal use increasing in Ontario?

01.08.11 - In the Toronto Star today.


Nuclear power is 55% of total electricity generation in Ontario.


Solar generation is 2.7% (up from 2.3% in 2009). When will it be 50%?


McGinty's liberals r doing something right ... as coal use has dropped dramatically since 2003 (when he came into office).


However, as nuclear or solar couldn't step up when hydro couldn't produce last year (water level were down), coal came to the rescue.


Wouldn't it be interesting if coal COULDN'T come to the rescue...


Another good aspect of this article is we are (for the foreseeable future) a net-exporter of electricity.


Another good investment opportunity?
